Jorge Vilda has described the duel against England as an "opportunity to make history" and, despite acknowledging that "they are favorites, not only for the match, but to win the tournament", he assures that they arrive with confidence at the transcendental match: " The team is motivated by the great challenge that would be going to a semifinal for the first time”, he assures.
The Madrid coach is aware of the dangers of the English team: "They can't score a goal, they score a lot of goals, they have the ball...", but he is convinced that "with motivation and desire" they can be beaten. “We have 23 warriors who are going to leave their souls in each dispute, in each ball. They are going to give it their all and the spectators will see a match that they will remember all their lives”, he has promised.
Vilda has not given any clues about the eleven she will choose, but has confirmed that they are all in perfect condition: “The physical condition of all of them is optimal. Knowing where we come from, from highly demanding matches and 3 days to recover, but the sensations in training are good”.
He also explained the lack of goals that Spain is showing in this European Championship, arguing that "when you play against teams whose first intention is to defend, no matter how well you do it, it is very difficult to score." "It's a matter of time and that the day is given for the goals to come in", he has sentenced.
A full stadium is expected in Brighton to receive the host against another of the best teams on the European scene: "It motivates us all to play against England at home and with a full stadium", said the coach, who also believes that he can weigh the pressure on them at some point: “I imagine that if this happened in Spain, in a field full of our fans, I think this would weigh us down. This can happen to them."
In the locker room they eagerly await tomorrow's game: “The stadium will be full, any player would like to be here tomorrow and give everything. We don't stop talking about it, we really want the match to come. We like that there are people and it motivates us that she is the hostess. They have to play with that too”, Patri Guijarro pointed out. As one of the captains of the national team, she is clear about what the game's script should be: “I don't think we have to adapt to England, the best we can do is play our game. Our best attack and defense will be to have the ball”.
